Sector Types Explained
Defines flight, surface, rail, cruise, ferry, car and open-jaw sectors for routing logic.
Sector Types Explained
A sector is one movement or gap in the itinerary. Not every sector is a flight.
- Flight sector: flown between two airports.
- Surface sector: traveller moves independently between two points.
- Rail sector: train movement that may sit outside the air ticket.
- Cruise sector: sea movement between embarkation and disembarkation ports.
- Open jaw: the traveller flies into one city and out of another.
Surface sectors can still affect rule capacity. Treat them as route logic, not invisible gaps.
Surface sector warning
Do not treat surface sectors as commercially invisible. They may still affect stopover counts, route continuity, open-jaw logic, mileage checks, or product eligibility.
